Brenda and Ben’s love story began in a modern way—through Facebook Dating—but quickly grew into something deeply meaningful, rooted in intention, family, and faith. After Ben officially proposed in December 2024 (following the important step of asking Brenda’s parents and brothers for her hand), the couple celebrated the start of their next chapter surrounded by loved ones.
When it came to planning their wedding, Brenda and Ben focused on creating a day that felt beautiful, thoughtful, and true to their vision. Though the process evolved over time and came with its challenges—especially imagining how everything would come together—they ultimately brought their dream day to life in a way that felt just right.
Their ceremony stood out as the heart of the celebration, made even more special by the presence of their parents and the personal touch of having their cousin, Maynard, officiate. For Brenda, one of the most unforgettable moments was seeing Ben for the first time and saying “yes,” while Ben cherished the ceremony itself most of all.
And in a detail guests (and the couple!) won’t soon forget—the desserts were a standout favorite, adding a sweet and memorable touch to an already beautiful day. From the stunning setting to the heartfelt moments shared, Brenda and Ben’s wedding was a true reflection of their journey together and the love that brought them there.
We’re thrilled to feature their love story in the Winter/Spring 2026 issue of Real Weddings.
